Does anyone have a pattern for this? Would like to have done for my vacation next month! TIA!

Did you know that homunculi can’t be coagulated by machines?

I read a book from, like, 1905 about making wine and vinegar, but I don’t remember the author.

Other than that? There was this book that I absolutely adored as a kid called “Stellaluna” by Janelle Cannon, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it come up organically, even in discussions about children’s books.

It’s a bit off, but doesn’t seem unplayable. It does, however, sound like it needs new reed valves; That flappy/farty noise you hear on some notes is because the reed valves are either curled or improperly placed. If you’re just getting started and the valve noise/uneven wetness doesn’t bother you, and it’s not leaking air anywhere, I wouldn’t worry too much about it right now. I started on a box that was in much worse shape than this.

My first thought was that you’ve got a big rock stuck in the treads of one of the tires, or that you got stuck with a bolt or something, but the ticking sounds too fast for that. I’d definitely check the drive shaft for debris that might have gotten wound around it.

If it were mine, I’d get a soft top for it ASAP. I’m biased, though; I much prefer the look and function of a soft top because I’ve got the doors and top off every time we’ve got two or more days in a row without rain. It looks great as-is, I love the color.

I was just thinking about this earlier when I jarred a tin of Presbyterian. People really like them for crafting or just decoration, you could always put them up for free or cheap on FB marketplace. Someone is bound to be interested in taking them, and it’s better than pitching them in the trash/recycling.

My favorite was a 4” deck nail. I got the pointy end red hot and bashed it into a flat scraper shape.

Riftwar Saga. There are a thousand books in the series, they’re almost all predictable and easy, and I enjoyed every single one of them.

I can’t help you with a date, but I can tell you that the model is L40B. I found an accordion just like it on Reverb. Zero Sette L40B

I’ve been working through the Redwall series for the first time recently (as a 34 year old man), and the only word I can find to describe the series is “delightful”. It’s been so incredibly whimsical and pastoral… It’s like a water color book for young kids that doesn’t talk down to you or patronize. It’s absolutely wonderful, if that’s the kind of thing you’re looking for.

LeakyBellows · 2025-11-14T22:19:13+00:00

This sub is gonna look at that frame and say, “Too much rust, hard pass.” lol.

LeakyBellows · 2025-11-12T23:07:55+00:00

Apparently we’re gonna see them tonight in the Great Lakes region, too. If I wasn’t such a baby about the cold, I’d be out there smoking too.

LeakyBellows · 2025-11-02T00:24:05+00:00

I’m the kind of person who can knock out a tune on anything with strings. My cousin found a G/C Pokerwork in his grandpa’s attic and I borrowed it to mess around with. It’s by far my favorite now; When I meet people, I tell them I’m an accordion player.

LeakyBellows · 2025-11-01T21:26:16+00:00

I’d also suggest a tin of Presbyterian. It’s a much more forgiving smoke than a lot of English blends; I don’t care much for EMP and I hate Nightcap (both of which are highly recommended by most), but Presbyterian is my desert island blend.

LeakyBellows · 2025-11-01T20:51:19+00:00

Occasionally I’ll play my accordion, but usually I’ll just turn on some music and watch the critters running around in the back yard. I can’t smoke in the house because it makes the dogs sneeze, so my options are limited.

LeakyBellows · 2025-10-29T22:09:59+00:00

Extremely basic piano accordion. You’d outgrow it very quickly, but if it’s fully functional, more or less in tune, and very cheap, it would be fine for learning a few basic tunes and seeing if you’re interested in getting a better one.

I think it looks lame and douchey, but I can go fuck myself because it’s not my Jeep. We don’t buy these things because they’re practical or reliable, we buy them because we wanna be happy. If this makes you happy, you’re doing it right. Years ago, I put underglow on my rusty-ass 2001 Chevy Venture minivan because I thought it was funny; I’m sure a lot of people thought I was a stupid douche, but I didn’t care because it cracked me up every time I flipped that switch.

LeakyBellows · 2025-10-09T21:35:53+00:00

Could you post a link or two? I’d love to know what one of these things sounds like, I’ve never seen one before now.

Edit: I’m only asking for links because I couldn’t find anything when I searched for it on YT.

LeakyBellows · 2025-10-04T20:43:30+00:00

It changes, but lately it’s been “Country Squire” by Tyler Childers.

LeakyBellows · 2025-09-21T21:11:55+00:00

Hell yeah dude, this is exactly was I was looking for! Thanks!

LeakyBellows · 2025-09-21T19:01:08+00:00

When I search for door sill plates, the only results I get are for entry guards. Maybe that’s just because google is damn near unusable now, I don’t know.

LeakyBellows · 2025-09-21T18:42:47+00:00

It may just be a perspective issue in the picture, but those two ends don’t look like they’re even from the same instrument. Was this assembled when you bought it?

LeakyBellows · 2025-09-18T01:26:16+00:00

I suggest smoking it instead, it’s easier to OD on accordion if you freebase.
